Today, it is now a major trading port with easy access to countries like Denmark and Norway. Today, you can still find a lot of structures dating back to the 1770s built by the Danish settlers. Ever since the industrialization, Arnarstapi turned into a small fishing hamlet and is not a quaint palace for you to travel to and simply immerse yourself in the vibes it offers. Although fishing is a major activity, it is second to tourism, thanks to the places to see and things to do.
